When they march they lift up their feet like cats in the snow. In his admirable speech in New York at the great meeting last week, Gen. Patrick A. Collius said: 'I am here as an American. Any one reading my front name might suppose I was Irish, but I am not. I happened to be born in Ireland. It is a circumstance for which I am not at all responsible, and for which I make no apology. But I took an oath ot allegiance to the the and United State3 of Amerfca, and by grace of GoJ I will keep that oath remain a true American." The cost of electric light for the illu mination of cities compared with gas has been computed by Hartford. Conn. where arc lights have been in use for about a year. The report states that each electric light in use displaces six and one-half street burners, besides giving at the same time at least ten times a3 mtich light. The gas lamps cost $35 per burner per annum, kept burning nights m tne year, wnue for the electric lignts sixty-nve cenis a night is paid. The electric light being al to gix and one-half gas burners, a saving of $15.60 per lamp per year is effected by the use ot electricity, be sides the cost of lighting and extinguish. ing the gas lamps.

We understand that there is a stand ing offer in this city of $250 on Cleve land's election. If any of our Kepubli can friends want any particulars they can be accommodated on enquiring at this office. We invite the attention of our citizens to ithe fact that first qnality shirts are being made to order at one dollar at the Wilmington Shirt Factory; u. Now is the time to give Smith a Worm OU. . lydw Daily We ought not to complain of the heat , when the people of the North are sweltering with the thermometer far up among the nineties. The heat there during the past week ha9 been intoler able and many have been prostrated and killed by its extremo intensity. It can hardly bo disputed that Wil mington i3 one of the coolest cities on the Atlantic Coast. Personal. Mr. George M. Carr.of theGoldsb iro Messenger, is in the city to-day and gave us the pleasure of a call. Mr. John R. Paddison. of Point Cas well, was in the city to-day. He states that his section of Pender was visited by copious and much-needed showers yesterday. Mr. E. A. Hawes and wife, of Black River, who have been absent for two months past at the Red Sulphur Springs, in Virginia, arrived here this morning, on the return home, both, we are pleased to learn, much improved in health. A Suggestion. Mothers should not overlook the fact that there is a culture in good company and good conversation which nothing else can supply for their children. In every neighborhood there are families from which much can be gained in the way of social relations. If only two or three families unite in a weekly readiDg club, it ia better than to sit alone by one's qwnfireside seven eyeningsin each week. By this means all could have pleasure, the young people could join in musical practice, and vie with each other in literary work, and older minds might strcngtten their powers in discussion. Capt. E. 1. Crowning'. We learn from the Weldon News that our genial friend, Capt. Dolly Brown ing, for so many years past a conductor on the Wilmington & Weldon R. R.,has been renominated for the position of Treasurer of Halifax county. The News, commenting on thi3 fact, says: It is with pleasure that we endorse the nomination by the Committee of Capt. L. D. Browning as candidate for Treasurer. Capt. Browning has held tne oince lor neany two years and wo have yet to hear the first complaint of his olhcial conduct. Though before nominated by the Republicans for the omce. ne never has been a Republican nor Liberal, but remained true to the Democratic party. He never has voted any but tne JJemocratic ticket, and never will. He gives strength to the ticket and his vote will be gratifying to him and his friends, of whom their name is legion. The Democratic coun ty ticket is now complete, and one and all can vote for it with satisfaction. Rally, Democrats! The Young Men's Club will meet in the City Court Room to-night, and Col. Staples will probably address them. The Cornet Concert Club is expected to be present and furnish some good music for the occasion. An invita tion is extended to our citizens generally to be present and we hope that there may be a full turnout, no only to listen to the distinguished speaker, but to encourage by their presence the efforts of the club, to whom the Democratic party of the city and county are deeply indebted for their generous service in the past. The weather, at the time of this writing, does not look very favorable, but let principle and patriotism show you the way while protecting prudence shields you from the storm by the aid of umbrellas, water prools and rubber boots. The storm we hope will subside, in which case we know there will be a large assemblage, but, if it should not, why go there anyhow! Stedinan in the West. The News and Observer say : Maior Stedman reports that he has been received with the warmest cordial ity by the peopie of the transmontane country at every point and that Demo cracy is booming from Asheville to Murphy. On the other hand the peopie ot the west say that they hare seldom heard so eloquent and forcible a speaker as Major Stedman and that in this his first campaign he has vanquished his opponent at every appointment of the joint canyass dealing telling blows daily for sound Democracy and the right. And the Asheville Citizen says : Maj. Stedman returned here Sunday from his tour through the Western counties with Judge Faircloth. He spoke in eleven counties, and expresses himself delighted wilo his reception, and with the good crowds that have greeted him and his opponent; but above all he expresses himself highly gratified to find so few Republicans in the Western counties. At some places be did not find a half-dozen per sons opposed to Democracy. .The Major is in excellent health and spirits and "ays he feels as i! ho had been on a bridal tour so greatly elated does he feel over Democratic prospects in West era North Carolina. Review POMPEY SNEED. Reported Death of the Noted Outlaw-Shot while Resisting: Arrest at Goldsboro. A report reached the city last night that Pompey Sneed had been shot at Goldsboro yesterday while resisting arrest. In the invalidation nf tht matter this morning we interrogated a gentleman who came down on the train rom Goldsboro last night, from whom we learned that Sneed was seen and identified on the streets of Goldsboro yesterday forenoon, and that his capture was attempted, but that ne escaped, al though several shots were fired at him without effect. He was in the com pany of Julins Canton, a notorious man of Goldsboro, whose capture the police also desired. The couple took to the woods, taking a general direction towards a house where Carlton's sister lived, about a mile and a half from the city. An armed posse was immedi ately sent in pursuit of the fugitives and when they arrived in sight of the house namd, they saw Pompey seated upon a log. The officer in charge of the po3se directed hi3 force to surround the house and capture Carlton, feeling contident that the latter was within. while he would take careot Sneed. The instructions were put in execution and resulted in the capture of Carltou, who was taken immedi ately to Goldsboro by his cap tors, leaving the officer alone to contend with Sneed. In the meantime the latter advanced towards Pompej, who. as soon as he saw the former approaching took to his heels. The officer started in pursuit, ordering Sneed to surrender but as thelafer gave no sign of sub mission, but seemed intent on escape, and as he was getting over a fence, the former fired, some of the shot taking eflect in the legs of Pompey, so that he could not run. Ho then faced his pursuer and when ordered again to surrender, declared that he "would die nrsi. toneea was armeu witn two or three pistols, and when the officer told him that if he did not surrender in one minute he would be shot, he started to draw a pistol, saying, "the man who gets the first shot takes the meat," upon which the officer fired, the contents of his piece lodging 10 tne breast ot me outlaw, bneeu stood glaring at the officer for a mo ment and then fell to the ground. The officer, being alone, immediately re turned to Goldsboro and reported the matter, when a force was sent out to bring the body in, and had not return ed when our intormantlefton the train. The latter was not a witness to any ot the above narrated proceedings, but got his information from a source which he considered entirely reliable and we have given the statement sub stantially as it wa3 given to us. Further information will probably be received here during the day. The Bis Fish. Capt. S. W. Nobles, agent of New Hanover county for the State Expo sition, was engaged yesterday in pack ing the two large fish contributed by Messrs W. E. Davis & Son, for ship ment to Raleigh. The larger of the two (tarpin, or king shad) required a box seven feet long by two and a halt feet Aide, while the smaller fish was accommodated in a box three feet long and .two feet wide. Messrs Davis & Son have been at considerable expense in having these remarkable fish prepar ed properly for the Exposition, and take a jost and commemdable pride in their efforts towards making the New Hanover exhibit a credit and honor to the State and especially to this section- For Ralciffh. As the Wilmington Light Infantry will go to Raleigh, to be there at the opening ot the State Exposition, it is to be hoped tbatjthey will be able to attend with full ranks. It will be difficult for some of the members to leave on ac count of their business employments, bat we trust that employers whenever they can, without manifest injury to their interests, will allow their employes who are members of the company to go. If this should be done, the Infantry would appear at Raleigh with full ranks and reflect credit upon the city as well as upon the State military organization. Dra. Gilbert and Whitaker, at Fre mont, yesterday successfully expelled from the ; seveh-years-old daughter of Mr. Wm. Aycock. of Georgia, a tape worm which measured 20 feet in length The child was sent to Fremont for treat ment and is now doing well, is quite lively and active and as a-matter of course is greatly rejoiced. 12, 1884.
